Sometimes you need to stay home and sometimes you simply want to. Either way, you can sweeten up your days at home with these home sweet home cake toppers!
WHAT YOU NEED:
craft foam
paper (we used gold and silver shimmer paper!)
white glue
toothpicks
tape
HOW TO MAKE:
From craft foam, cut out various sizes of rectangles and triangles (for the base of the house and the roof).
From paper, cut out miniature squares for windows and miniature rectangles for doors. We added some doors with rounded tops for variety!
Mix and match the various parts to create mini houses. Use white glue to assemble the parts.
Attach a toothpick to the back side of each house using tape.
Stick them in your cake of choice!
